Mai 1506, Michel Ange débarque à Constantinople. A Rome, il a laissé inachevé le tombeau que lui a commandé Jules II, au risque de s'attirer la colère de ce pape particulièrement irascible. Mais comment résister à l'invitation du Sultan Bajazet, qui veut lui confier la conception d'un pont enjambant l'estuaire du Bosphore, la Corne d'Or ? Pont entre deux rives, mais aussi entre deux mondes, deux civilisations...
Une évocation fascinante et raffinée de ce moment où la Renaissance esquisse avec l'Orient byzantin un sublime rendez-vous, hélas manqué.
L'interprétation de Thibault de Montalembert épouse toutes les nuances de ce récit qui mêle fastes révolus et ambiguïtés politiques.

"It is a "what might have" story of Michelangelo in Instanbul. In this "historical" novel, he takes an offer from the Pasha to build a bridge. It is all plausible, but not necessarily true.
The story is only vaguely interesting as a possible interlude in Michelangelo's life. It adds nothing to popular common knowledge about Michelangelo as an artist and man."

- The plot is uninteresting, the characters come from central casting, but the prose, oh the prose, makes it a must read. Beautiful!
- A fascinating fantasy--in a believable narrative-- about what might have happened if Michelangelo had actually
gone to Constantinople to design a bridge for the sultan. - It is a "what might have" story of Michelangelo in Instanbul. In this "historical" novel, he takes an offer from the Pasha to build a bridge. It is all plausible, but not necessarily true.
The story is only vaguely interesting as a possible interlude in Michelangelo's life. It adds nothing to popular common knowledge about Michelangelo as an artist and man. - This is a delightful story, lusty, full of life in Constantinopel at the time of Michelangelo. You can see, smell, hear the city. I read this French edition and hope it is translated, so it can enchant ALL my friends. I found so much in this tale.
